On the whole a decent stay but not as great as I anticipated. I hate writing negative feedback but in this instance I have to share some thoughts:
But first, the positives: host is great with communication and check in (though somewhat unique and a bit odd, was easy)
The room was clean and had great views over the local area.
Easy transport links (MTS/BTS/Boats/grab) to the rest of the area.
Now for the negatives (which I seldom post and hate posting): The pictures show a room equipped with basic kitchen facilities such as bowls, mugs, cutlery- there was NONE of this during my stay. In fact there were 3 glasses and that was it - not even a bottle opener.
A strange smell often emanated from the bathroom too which was unpleasant.
Check out was an unpleasant experience. You drop the key in the letter box - but you need the key to leave the area the post boxes are kept!! Staff in the apartment block wouldn’t let me out because tourists shouldn’t be staying here - there are big banners telling you this. I had to wait around for 5 mins until a resident could buzz me out and avoid the front desk staff who told me I couldn’t leave because I had no key. This was a very unpleasant experience. I have suggested the host look into this and I am surprised it’s not been mentioned on reviews before!
